A catch phrase will go here soon.

The Long Tail of Publishing…

4/11/2005

Spent some time with Chris Andersen, editor of WIRED, at eTech and talked all about Weblogs, Inc. being a long-tail publisher. It’s true we are trying to leverage our network to build niche blogs that could not exist as magazines, cable channels, or even newsletters. Can you build a business on a bunch of blogs that only make $1,000 a month!? I’m not sure, but we’re having a lot of fun trying.

Anyway, I saw this really interesting cartoon from gapping void on Chris’ blog I think it sums it up. :-)

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
